Report Launch: Assessing progress in implementing the Gender Equality Act 2020

Workplace gender inequality is an enduring, global socio-economic problem and despite significant strides made over many decades, most Australian workplaces continue to exhibit gender inequalities.

The Victorian Gender Equality Act 2020 requires identified public sector organisations to drive more equal and inclusive workplaces by addressing structural disadvantage and promoting gender equality through a variety of policies, strategies, and actions. Organisations are also expected to recognise, and act on the fact, that gender inequality may be intensified by people’s intersectional characteristics.

This research, conducted by the RMIT Global Transport and Logistics Research Group and funded by the Commission for Gender Equality in Public Sector, identifies the factors of sustaining workplace gender inequalities, and the ways through which practices and processes could be changed to facilitate progress towards a more gender equal workplace.

Hosted by the RMIT Global Transport and Logistics Research Group and Gender Matters Research Theme, the event will be facilitated by Dr. Karen Douglas.

 

Speakers:

  • Dr. Niki Vincent, Commissioner for Gender Equality in Public Sector
  • Mr. Paul Younis, Department Secretary at Department of Transport, Victoria State Government
  • Professor Julie Cogin, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Business and Law) and Vice President RMIT University
  • Dr. Aida Ghalebeigi, Leader of Gender Matters Research Theme, RMIT University
